There was a major lightning strike on the city’s south side.
A fire official tells us during the height of this afternoons storm a lightning bolt struck a large spruce tree on the 2100 block of Isabella Street in the Waterloo Street area.
The tree snapped, caught fire and fell on a power line. That 25,000 volt line then came crashing down.
It caused some power outages in the area which hydro workers with Synergy North got to work on immediately
